    I know this probably sounds weird but does anyone have the part number for the screws that hold the brushes onto the motor? I can’t beleive that I don’t have any spare left with that size thread! :rolls:

    Many thanks

    That sort of thing was never listed as a spare, also this machine uses Bosch, CESET & FHP motors.

    It’s an FHP motor, ‘reconditioned’ by someone but there is only one screw on each brush so that probably explains it as they couldn’t get hold of the screws. I can’t believe I don’t have anything that fits it.

    Thanks anyway Jim

    Re: Hotpoint WMA33

    Now we know its an FHP I’m sure someone will have a few screws for these lying around.

    If you don’t get any offers by tomorrow afternoon let me know and I will whip them out of a new FHP motor I have in the garage. 🙂

    Jim.

    PS. Edited the thread title. 😉

    Local DIY store or motor factors?

    Jim, Thank you. I can’t remember what the title was originally

    Martin, This is Wales my friend, the nearest DIY store is 30 miles away along a road that you can only do 30 miles an hour mostly…what’s a motor factor?! 😀
    Aled who runs my ‘local’ little hardware store (which is 12 miles away)looked at me as if I had brought in a new fangled piece of technology! 😯 Fairplay to them though as they pass a lot of business my way.
    At today’s prices it is not worth me driving over 30 miles for a few screws….I was careful how I phrased that Jim. 😆

    Re: Hotpoint WMA33 screws for brushes.

    It just so happened that I ended up having a look in Aberystwyth 30 miles away anyway as I had to visit another customer who was about 3 miles outside the town. The DIY store there is quite a small one compared to the vast ones in South Wales and England so unfortunately they didn’t have the right screws either.
    Does anyone happen to have a couple of FHP screws I could have please? I am happy to send you a postage paid envelope if you PM me your address!

    Many thanks

    I am more than happy to take a couple out of a new motor, however if you already have two screws then I would have thought you could find two short self tappers for the other side. 😕

    Do you need two or four?

    Jim.

    Thanks for that Jim,

    Funny you should say that. I tried a couple of short self tappers yesterday and it did the trick, before I had seen your reply this morning.

    Many thanks for your help as always. 😀
